Ryan: "I'm not a perfect person"

Ryan Phillippe spoke to People mag about his recent split from Reese Witherspoon. "I'm not a perfect person, but I'm not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of," the Flags of Our Fathers actor told the mag. "My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family." Phillippe would not comment on the rumors that the split was caused by a possible relationship between himself and Australian actress Abbie Cornish. However, Witherspoon was reportedly unimpressed with her husband's love of hitting the clubs, and a source says the pair "would fight over that kind of thing all the time. He got away with a lot and he knows it." The source, who was a fellow patron of the Santa Monica bar Phillippe used to frequent, also said the actor often stayed in Venice "for days at a time" after arguing with his wife. A friend of the actor is hopeful for an amicable split, and says, "I know they love their kids to death. So they'll do what they can to keep it from turning ugly."
